Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book includes important, scholarly notations and annotations made by Gregorius Bar Hebraeus, a 13th century theologian, philosopher, historian, and physician, on biblical texts such as the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. There are very few surviving copies of these annotations and this book is a valuable resource to compare the differences between them. The author provides notes and comparisons between original manuscripts, which shed light on the history of the texts and the evolution of the Syriac language. This book will be particularly valuable and informative for academics and researchers in biblical studies, linguistics, and the history of the Middle East. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
